A county judge refused an emergency injunction to stop the Nov. 4 township commissioners meeting, but let the residents' Sunshine Act lawsuit over the by-right data center zoning go forward
Notes: A third-party zoning officer issued permits in August for 15 data centers of about 460,000 sq ft each and three gas-powered fuel stations; residents only learned of them at a September meeting. The by-right zoning came from a five-minute special meeting on April 21. The reported project value is $35 billion. The township solicitor's firm also represents data center developers.
